Canton
Canton, Massachusetts was settled in 1650 and was incorporated as a town in 1797. Located in the South Shore at the foot of the Blue Hills, Canton remains close to major highways and public transit (primarily the Commuter Rail) without taking away from its residential charm. Canton has great public schools, maintaining an A-rating on niche.com! If you are looking for great academics, great teachers, and great college prep, without breaking the bank, Canton might just be for you! And if traditional schooling isn’t for you, Blue Hills Technical School is a wonderful option.
About the Town of Canton
Canton is considered by its residents to be family-friendly, community-oriented, and safe. With lots to do, from golf, to town pools, to estates and hikes, Canton is a one-of-a-kind Boston suburb! While there is no town common, there are many community events spread throughout beloved Canton sites. Almost all errands will require a car, as the town is not very walkable. For your outdoor-fix, we recommend one of their gorgeous local parks or hikes, or even take a walk through one of the historic estate gardens!
